Adding a package is as easy as pkg_add pkgname.tgz. If you are grabbing
packages from a single source (a package repository), set PKG_PATH to
that repository URL, in order to grab dependencies.

For instance, to install the Gimp package for the 3.2 release on an i386
machine off the ftp site (including dependencies), do:

    # setenv PKG_PATH
    # ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/3.2/packages/i386/
        # pkg_add ${PKG_PATH}gimp-1.2.3.tgz
